Have heard that one should do this to avoid damage to the battery.
I.d.R. Have modern Li-ion batteries already charged and keep them for quite a long time, you can, but you do not have to…
You should do that, but it is looking for the operating instructions so inside. You should read through it.
New laptops or their battery is usually already loaded by 50-70%. There's nothing wrong with using the recharge without further ado. A deep discharge should be avoided.
